So I help out a charity that runs free advanced driver safety course for teens, we had an event in Pomona at the fair grounds this weekend. The first thing we talk about is any recent traffic deaths, every event we have something major in LA or Orange County to talk about. This weekend it was this. One of the parents…
I can’t speculate as to whether or not Singer buyers are posing. To me it doesn’t seem like a good poseur car. To your avearge person it’s just an “old Porsche in really good condition” only hardcore gearheads know that it is really special.
I’m going to let you finish but Justin Westbrook is the best automotive blogger in the world.(drops mic)
You just don’t get it. Try a little harder.
Does the Olympic committee pays for stadiums and other sporting installations, does the FIFA pays for stadiums, does the ATP/WTA pays for Tennis courts ?
Dude just wants to tell his friends that he daily drives a ‘vette.
The RNC is coming to town this summer and I have been toying with the idea of trying out driving for Uber - but only if I could find a respectable vehicle that properly says “America is Great.” Mission accomplished - President Trump, your ride is here.
These look like they are in a never ending series of unseen accidents. Every time I see these I notice some unfortunate crease or body line that couldn't possibly be intentional.
A lot of people are posting supercars that are simply “unknown” to most. Not necessarily unloved. I took “unloved” to mean the car that the most people hate...
...and no supercar is more unfairly hated than the Bugatti Veyron. I don’t know why, but any time anything is posted about it, all I see are comments about how…
As an old school Audi fanboy - Audi pissed off those fans decades ago. Oh sure the R8 program begat some le mans fame, but Audi by and large has avoided all motorsport where it can use a proper quattro system since the old RS6 touring cars. Their product lineup is “generic german luxury cars and SUVs” with very few…
You’re missing the most important point: Yes, Compacts were shitty 40 years ago. But ALL CARS were shitty 40 years ago. ALL OF THEM.
“But, but, what about the (insert desirable old car here)? It was amazing and beautiful and better in every way than new cars!”
Nope. It was shitty.
That 40 year old Porsche 911? Shitty.…
imagine a graph with two line curves. X axis is speed in mph, Y axis is lbf. The two curves on the graph are downforce vs. speed, and aerodynamic lift vs. speed. As you go up in speed, there will be a point where the lift curve intersects and rises above the downforce curve. That’s the point where the car is on the…
So the ~$1000 water/methanol injection system my friend added to his STi is worth much more that when mounted to a BMW? Explains why turn signals are optional.
This is surreal. Can you imagine - sitting at the goddamn dinner table eating something delicious while your old man rants about “That fuckin’ guy Enzo” and lays the groundwork for one of the greatest supercar companies in history ?
We miss him.
I was researching something else when I fell down this particular rabbit hole, but I’m pretty intrigued by what I…
One of my absolute favorite things about this job are our readers. Sure, sometimes it’s like having someone stand…
